Wang Shao went to Qinzhou, and the picture was Hehuang.

This is not easy, from Qinzhou to Minzhou, west of Jiezhou, all belonged to Chinese territory before, but since the end of the Tang Dynasty, after the collapse of the Tibetan occupation, this area is mixed, all ethnic groups have their own armed forces, the Song Dynasty has not been recovered, want to conquer, Wang Shao can only use the troops of Qin Feng all the way, the number of troops is small! That is to say, once Wang Shao conquers, he must maintain the field to win more with less, and he must win a big victory to achieve this goal.

The second is finance.

The imperial court can allocate funds, but it is too difficult to allocate funds from the imperial court, and before it can be started, the court will talk about it. You have to have some money in your hand. Moreover, it is a conquest, not a defeat, it must be used in combination with grace and might, and in addition to the means of force, it must also be bought. To buy it, you have to spend money, and this money is not even spent clearly, it cannot be made public, and you have to have money in your hands to embezzle it from the small coffers.

So there was Shiyi, and there was Yingtian.

When the application began, the imperial court agreed. I thought it was Zheng Lang's kind of city Yi Yingtian, including Li Shizhong.

But when the implementation of Wang Shao did too ruthlessly, Li Shizhong opposed, including a camp, in order to get a large amount of money from a very short period of time, so from the south of Weizhou to Qinzhou to reclaim a large number of fields, it turned out that there were, Han Qi learned from Zheng Lang to reclaim a number of camps, and then handed over to Fanhu or archers. After Han Qi left, Wen Yanbo took over, and he did nothing, so he didn't move again. In addition, the establishment of Gangu City and Tongwei Fort also made the Song Dynasty's sphere of influence cover the northwest of Qinzhou, and Wang Shao obtained a number of camps.

However, in order to make money in a very short time, it was necessary to embezzle some of the original archer fields.

The archers, also known as some of the local Han militia, train in winter, and sometimes when war comes, they go to support as firefighters. But after Zheng Lang initiated the restructuring, including Zhuangding, archers, etc. Forced labor declined. Even when war comes. The same treatment and rewards as regular soldiers. Usually exempt from taxes and some subsidies, Wang Shao thinks that it is too much to give a large amount of land. That's it. It is better to integrate them into the ranks of the township soldiers, and it can also increase the thickness of the army on the edge.

Therefore, in the process of camping, some of the archers' fields were also occupied.

Like the difficulties encountered by Zheng Lang's reform, people often do not look at the general ledger and do not look into it. Only to see, leading to the dissatisfaction of some archers.

Li Shizhong was transferred to Shuzhou, and Wen Yanbo and Feng Jing still joined forces with Taiwanese officials to attack Wang Shao, thinking that they were bullying. At the same time, Xiang Bao and Wang Shao, two friends, turned against each other, saying that Wang Shao provoked the Tuoshuo clan to disturb the border and make Qinzhou turbulent.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to make an order, with Li Ruoyu and others, Dou Shunqing looked at it and went to check the affairs of the camp.

What is the relationship between Dou Shunqing and Wang Shao, and Dou Shunqing knows Qinzhou at this time. He also wants to make meritorious contributions, can you say that? As for the eunuch Li Ruoyu. Don't forget, at this time, there is a big guy in Qinzhou who is wearing a pair of pants with Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu. Gao Zunyu may not be nothing, but what about later? Gao talked. Li Ruoyu dares to tell the truth? Don't you want to go back to the palace in the future?

The two checked and reported in a book that there was a camp in Qinzhou, one hectare.

reported to the capital, although Zheng Lang had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble.

Almost all the monarchs and ministers let this thunder foam at the mouth.

How big is the area of the camp, from the later Huating to the south of Zhuanglang, the east of Tongwei, including Qin'an, Gangu, Tianshui, Zhangjiachuan and other areas, of course, such a vast area can not be wasteland, but it is also impossible to reclaim only one hectare of campland.

The ministers were not convinced, and the court asked Shen Qi to investigate.

chose the right lord, Shen Qi is Wang Anshi's trusted minister, and he is a master who is not afraid of too many things, but is afraid of not having many things, and likes to open the side.

Shen Qi was in Gyeongju, and soon went to Qinzhou after receiving the edict, went down to check, reported the situation, and said that it was good, there was only more than one hectare of camping fields, and this more than one hectare of camping fields was still fighting with several local Tibetan people. In other words, the actual name of this hectare field has not been decided. Tuo Shuo made trouble, but Tuo Shuo was unreasonable, and he couldn't be unreasonable, and the court still had to help Tuo Shuo. The latter seems to be credible, Guan Jian is the former, who can believe it.

Wang Shao wanted to camp the field and change the city, and Zheng Lang once agreed.

But then he gradually became silent, but Wang Anshi has always supported it, and it has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, but Wang Shao opened the side, which made him very happy. At this time, Wang Anshi had a hard time riding a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Li Shizhong and Xiang Bao are inconsistent, and the two envoys of the imperial court ask about the case, and it is found that Li Shizhong and Xiang Bao are deceitful. Li Shizhong did not comply with the edict and hoped to be punished. ”

This matter is Li Shizhong in Shaanxi, and Wen Yanbo is in the court, the two have risen one after another, Wen Yanbo is not clear in Luoyang, and he is also puzzled in his heart, is it really only one hectare of campland, not like it. The first calligraphy is written, and it is common for the border marshal to receive the edict of the cabinet.

did not obey the edict, acted cheaply and went to the sea, himself, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji, and Zheng Lang, all did it. You have to protect Li Shizhong first.

Wang Anshi commented that if the imperial court is not feasible, it must be requested. If you can't close the cabinet, and if you don't play, please explain the reason, and you are not guilty? It is also unforgivable not to carry out without reason. Besides, the edict of the cabinet is because it is harmful to the side affairs, and it is not inferior, how can it be forgiven?

Wen Yanbo replied, since he is the side marshal, when the performance is completed, it is really difficult for Wang Shao to stir up the middle.

Wang Anshi replied that although Wang Shao was a special mission, it was also Li Shizhong's strength to play Wang Shao's material of Wang Zuo, please order the imperial court to let him hook up the ministry, so the imperial court played from it. However, everything is also carried out by Li Shizhong, what ability does Wang Shao have to stir up?

Wen Yanbo couldn't distinguish it, so he had to say rudely, Wang Shao's momentum is so powerful in Guanzhong, who dares to violate it?

Wu Chong couldn't stand it, so he said, both sides are at fault, whether it is Wang Shao or Xiang Bao, as ministers of state, they are at fault when they quarrel to such a point, and they should be demoted.

It makes sense, but Wang Anshi was stubborn and said loudly: Xiang Bao is guilty of untruth, what is Wang Shao's crime?

Wen Yanbo reacted this time, echoed in Luoyang, and said, Shen Qi is kind and hopeful, how can he be willing to pursue Wang Shao's crimes? If Qinzhou is big, how can there only be one hectare of campland.

Zhao Ji was also speechless after seeing it, these people are too nonsense, even if they are three hundred hectares or five hundred hectares, they can also have an explanation, one hectare of land, who believes it? had to issue an edict and let Han Zhen go down to verify. Han Zhen went down and investigated carefully, and he alone found out 4,000 hectares of land. One hundred acres became four hundred thousand acres! However, Han Zhen also reported honestly. There are so many camps. But there is no harm as Li Shizhong said.

Zhao Ji said: "Bian Chen's sincerity is harmful. Reasons can be known, but things are unknowable and understandable. But the ministers should be honest in their decisions, as Dou Shunqing said that Wang Shao only played a hectare. At that time, the imperial court thought that there would be no such place. Today, Han Zhen looked at it, and there were more than 4,000 hectares. Dou Shunqing still said that looking at the ground today must not be what Wang Shao pointed out. ”

If it's wrong, it's wrong, and there's a special reason. You can state it, so why lie and be cunning?

The voice is still biased towards Wang Shao, what's the matter, it is also prepared for Hehuang. Look at how difficult it is to open the side, such as Chong Ge, Zhi Jishi, Zhi Ke Xing, Yan Da, etc., which is not a famous brave general, Luo Wucheng has not been operated.

If the opening of the river is successful, what is a camp field, is it more than 4,000 hectares of camp field. Think about how many hidden fields there are in the country, and review them in four ways. More than 600,000 hectares of hidden fields were also found. Can 4,000 hectares be compared to more than 600,000 hectares?

But both sides are drilling to the death. Wen Yanbo and Feng Jing said that what he said was not the actual situation. It's the truth, and the trouble is in the clever words. All of them are like this, how can they be done by reversing right and wrong with clever words?

Zhao Ji said: "If you don't know what you do, you don't have clever words, if you see reason, how can you mess up clever words?" ”

That is, if you are a folk, you are not afraid of shadows, and you don't do bad things, so why are you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night? However, there was no choice but to issue an edict to seize Wang Shao's officials, Wang Anshi disagreed, and said: "Clever words, although Yao and Shun are also afraid of it, but they are reasonable, so the co-workers cannot mess with the rule of Yao and Shun." Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty edict said: I don't know the reason, I don't dazzle, I don't listen to the confusion, there are many government decrees, the people's hearts have not been obtained, and the ministers and ministers are treacherous and evil. However, he does not understand the reason, so he is not dazzled and not confused; but dazzled, so once there is a decree, it is often taken away by floating discussions and returned; However, there are many government decrees, so the people's hearts have not been obtained; The reason why the ministers dare to commit treachery is that the master of the people does not know the reason. ”

After Zhao Ji issued an edict to seize Wang Shaoguan, he regretted it in his heart again, although this camp field is ridiculous, but opening the river is the top priority, so he dismounted and said: "Yes, the border ministers each use their own love and dislike to deal with people, Han Zhen looked at the person who came out of the land, it was incompatible with Dou Shunqing, and other things were unwilling to do his best." ”

Wang Anshi immediately followed: "Your Majesty has seen all this. ”

It's all messing around!

Zheng Lang was dumbfounded after hearing this, but during this time he basically disappeared, Yintian found out, and moved out more than 17,000 hectares of wasteland and semi-wasteland for auction, the process was a little slow, and he had to build roads for him, the commercial tax rate was readjusted, and the bank was secretly preparing for the expansion of shares, preparing some gold and silver as the principal, saving expenses for the imperial court, and there were many affairs, but he still did not leave the three divisions. In this regard, everyone did not object, and repaid a lot of debts, but the debts are still very heavy, Zheng Lang is a good financial manager, and he has the position of three ministers, and the country's finances can recover as soon as possible. But in June, last year's state revenue and expenditure accounts had not yet come out, and everyone felt strange. Someone asked, Zheng Lang replied vaguely, planning a big thing.

thought that Zheng Lang was going to toss again, and in the past few years, many ministers have been tossing and persuading each other.

Zheng Lang could only reply: "It's not what the princes imagine, and we'll know when the time comes." ”

Then, as in the reign of Emperor You, it seemed to disappear. Actually, no, it's just that I don't usually like to talk about things, talk less, and do more! If there is no big rough discussion, why bother grinding your mouth. A hectare of land, too thunderous, Zheng Lang has not participated.

Feng Jing saw that the situation had taken a sharp turn and said hurriedly: "This place is a place to recruit archers. ”

Wang Anshi said: "Wang Shao's performance is cloudy, the barren land is not cultivated, how can it be ten thousand, that is, it does not say that there is this except for the land that wants to recruit archers." ”

Is it wrong to open up the wasteland?

Feng Jing couldn't make a sound.

Wen Yanbo wrote in Luoyang that if this is the case, Dou Shunqing must be offended. At least he can't lie and turn more than 4,000 hectares of camp fields into one hectare of fields, making the world laugh.

Zheng Lang sighed: "Scholars are the pillars of the country, and the border ministers are also the pillars of the country. Although Kuanfu is an important minister of the country, why can't he get along with the border ministers, Renzong suppressed Di Qing, and now Wang Shao has made a little meritorious service, the country will be of great use, and if it is not used, Kuanfu will focus on its shortcomings, ignore its strengths, and suppress it, so that the country will lose its good talents. Moreover, Wang Shaofei is a military general, and he is also a jinshi and first. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.

Wen Yanbo didn't know, and in Luoyang, he wrote again and said that the minister used to be in Qinzhou, how could there be so much wasteland along Wei? This will be deceived.

Wang Anshi took out the map and said, "Han Jinzhuan is frustrating Wang Shao, Your Majesty can see it from the report." There is no reason for this barland. It is to accuse Wang Shao of deceiving. Did Your Majesty remember the attack on Wang Shao by the imperial history? It is Chen Shengzhi, Feng Jingyu Xie Jingwen. Yan Shen Qi made the land of Gangu City as a land along the Wei land, wanting to cover Wang Shao's crime. Jing Wen replied to the middle book, and the minister questioned Shen Qi in the case file, and there was no one who played Gangu City as Wang Shao. Why is this so? Jing Wen said to the ministers and Feng Jingyan, it is a collection of virtuous ministers and political participation, and I said so. ”

Rolled Chen Shengzhi in again.

Even if they were wrong, Chen Shengzhi and Feng Jing didn't do it right. Zai Zhi can't get along with Yanchen, let alone tell Yanchen what to say, so what's the use of asking Yanchen? Wang Shao should be punished, and Chen Shengzhi and Feng Jing should also be punished.

Fuck off.

Either Wang Shao will be reinstated.

Chen Shengzhi and Feng Jing had nothing to say. So the edict in front of the king and the official of the king, and the edict in the back to restore the official of the king.

Feng Jing had no choice but to say: "Not only that, but Wang Shaoxing's market is also inconvenient. ”

Zhao Ji said: "It's just Qinzhou, what's the inconvenience? And Zheng Gong has implemented the market change in Weizhou before, and the severity has already been said. ”

Wen Yanbo wrote: "The officials are more peddlers, which is inconvenient. ”

Wang Anshi said: "Regardless of the ancient things, stop at the present." The ministers all sold it, and there was a lot of business in the family of the scholars. People can't think it's inconvenient, why not? ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Recently, there have been many things, and the cost is even more insufficient, such as since the ancient Wei, Qinzhou has become more and more insufficient. ”

Wang Anshi said: "Today, Gu Wei, Wen Yanbo also does not know that it cannot be abolished, so the fee is insufficient, because there is no financial management. If the land is expanded, it must be justified to meet its costs, which is the reason why the market is indispensable. ”

Anyway, Luoyang is close to the capital, and the two of them will be separated in two days, Zhao Ji looked at the pain in the egg, so he asked Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang told the reason. Not only did Wang Shao want to run the river, but even the accounts of the various states and counties could not be clarified, and there were local construction, as well as incentives, and some unexpected expenditures, many of which could not be reported, and it would be impossible to say that there was no small treasury. Therefore, there are many additional taxes on the two taxes in various states and counties, which may not enter the pockets of officials. However, the imperial court at least nominally forbade it, otherwise in the end, the imperial court will relax, and more officials will actually put the money in the small treasury into their own pockets.

Wang Shao's approach can be understood, but it is definitely not in line with the system, and this one hectare of land has also been done too much, at least 500 hectares, how can it be just one hectare.

Zhao Ji listened to the music.

But this is a fair statement, Zhao Ji said: "Zheng Gong, why didn't you speak earlier? ”

"Your Majesty, Chen Shizhong is also a good official, Wang Shao is looking at Hehuang, Chen Shizhong is looking at the system, and neither of them is wrong. At that time, it was not appropriate to argue, and once it was revealed, it was not handled well, and it was very difficult to deal with the imperial court. If I also participate in the debate, things will get bigger and bigger, and it will not be beautiful. Sometimes, Your Majesty, you have to learn to pretend to be confused. ”

"Pretending to be confused?" Zhao Ji chewed this sentence carefully.

"For example, Silu Yintian, found this one, did you really check it clearly? No, but at this point, the court can already pretend to be confused. Zheng Lang said again: "In this way, first restore Wang Shaoguan, and then recall him back to the capital, let the ministers talk to him, and ask about Hehuang's plan by the way." There are some things that are not clear in the recital. It's also not good for secrecy. ”

"That's right." Zhao Wei said, and then thought about Zheng Lang's pretense of confusion, walked around the imperial study, and then stared at Zheng Lang with a pair of big watery eyes, his eyes were extremely complicated.

But it was Zheng Lang's flexible teaching bit by bit that made Zhao Ji gradually mature. An edict was issued to summon Wang Shao to recall the capital. Wang Shao's return to Beijing was very fast, and he recruited Yu Longke to the critical moment, and he did not dare to delay.

When he arrived in the capital, he immediately asked Zheng Lang to call Zhongshu, asked him to sit down, and said: "Zichun, the first battle of Huluchuan, I am a great Song Zhiqi." ”

"Gong Zheng, don't dare to be, there is the merit of Zhang Qianfu, the merit of planting, and the merit of all the soldiers."

"I'll bring you a gift." After Zheng Lang finished speaking, the little official brought a thing, it was a set of armor, not a new type of armor from the steel prison, but a set of armor made of 100 steel, not to say how good its quality is, and the defensive strength is about the same as ordinary armor, but there is one, because the strength keeps up, its weight is very light, only a dozen catties. Zheng Lang said: "You take a look." ”

"100 steels?" Wang Shao picked it up with his hand and reacted immediately.

The production of 100 steels has been made for a long time, and Shen Kuo also deliberately recorded in Mengxi's pen talk that he was sent to Cizhou to observe iron smelting in the forging workshop and know the real steel. Where there is steel in iron, if there is gluten in the face, and the soft dough is exhausted, then the gluten is seen, and the same is true for steelmaking. However, take more than 100 fires of fine iron forging, each forging is called, one forging is light, and the two catties are not reduced, then the pure steel is also, although it is refined, it is not consumed. This is the purity of iron, its color is clear, and when it is polished, it is dark blue and black, which is very different from Chang Tie. There are also those who have been refined to the end and have no steel at all, all of which are produced by the earth.

Because of the difficulty of collecting materials and the high cost of production, it is generally used to make swords and swords, such as this armor made of 100 steel, which may be the first time in history. Without him, the price is too expensive, just these dozen catties of armor, the production cost may reach thousands of dollars. Just to save weight, the waste is too worthless.

Zheng Lang nodded.

Wang Shao hesitated for a moment and said, "How dare I accept it? ”

"It's okay," Zheng Lang said, but said in his heart, not to reward you, this set of armor is your life talisman! (To be continued.) )
